To will whom it may concern:

Be it known that L'l VALTER H. BARRY, a

citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window Frames and Sashes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to window frames and sashes therefor and more particularly to such as are constructed entirely of metal, and its objects are; to provide a frame and sash of an exceedingly simple and durable construction which may be fitted into any ordinary opening of the proper size without special preparation; to provide a frame in which the sash can be readily titted after the former has been secured in place and from which it can be as readily removed; to provide means for forming a tight joint bet-ween the frame and sash which willbe practically weather proof and prevent rattling; to provide means for securing the glass in the sash and to provide a window frame and sash which may be con structed entirely of sections of the ordinary commercial shapes fastened together by means of bolts, rivets or in any other preferred manner. These and other objects which will hereinafter appear I attain by means of the construction illustrated in preferred form in the accompanying drawings wherein I Figure 1 is a view in elevation of my improved window frame and sash,

Figure 2 is a vertical section of the same taken on the line iI- lI of Figure 1, the sash being illustrated as pivoted to the. frame and in its tilted or open position,

Figure 3 is a horizontal section on an enlarged scale, taken on the line ill.l.ll of Figure 1 throughthe upper portion of the frame and sash,

full view of the slot in which ed, and v a sectional detail of one corner is a t tt have shown it as applied to a window in which the sash swings upon a horizontal axis,

although the sash may be. littedto swing upon a vertical axis or be mounted in any other suit-able manner without departing from the nature of my invention.

As illustrated in the accompanying drawings i prefer to construct the rectangular frame 8, of angle iron, being best adapted to form a light and stiff frame as well as one which can be readily secured in the window opening, although if desired, flat strips of iron or channel bars may be The eiid and side pieces of the frame are mitered together at the corners or joined and held together in any other preferred manner. Around the inner face of the frame 8 are secured the retaining or weather strips 9 adapted to fit closely around the sash and prevent the same from rattling in a manner to be presently described.

The sash consists of sections of gas pipe 10 joined together at the corners by means of the elbow pieces 11, litted therein in a manner to form a flush joint, and braced at the middle by means ofa section of pipe 1 l connected to the side pieces by the T shaped pivot pieces 12 which are adapted to fit into the pipe sections and form a flush joint in a manner similar to the corner sections. The pivot pieces 12 are provided with lugs or projections 12 *hich lit in slots 13 formed in the sides of the frame, and act as pivots upon which the frame swings. By reference to Figures 2, 3, and 4, it will be seen that the upper retaining pieces 9 are arranged to lit around one end of the sash while the corresponding lower pieces lit around the opposite side, such an arrangement allowing the sash to swing freely in one direction, and hold it rigidly in place when. in a vertical or intermediate position.

By reference to Figures 25 and l it will be seen that the glass is held in position in the sash by means of two metal holding strips or members 14 placed one upon the other and having one and bent out at approximately right angles to clasp the glass on each side, and the other end curved to lit the sides of the sash 10, to which they are riveted or secured in any other suitable manner.

ll' hile I have shown the retaining pieces J arranged permit of the use of a swinging sash, and in connoclion with the sloping slot 13 open at one end, to uc'init, the sash to be readily removed from the frame, sa

used instead.

could be utilized as guides for a sliding sash, or they could run continuously around one side of the sash if it is desired to fix the same permanently in the frame, or have it open'on hinges, without departing from the nature or scope of my invention. Other advantages of the device will readily occur to those familiar to the art. I 3

Having thus described my invention and illustrated its use, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is the fol-' lowing:

1. In combination, a Window frame, a swinging sash, and a retaining strip having one edge secured to the frame intermediate the sash and frame, and the other at an angle to the first edge and arranged to embrace a portion of the sash when the Window is closed.

2. In combination, a Window frame com posed of iron of ordinary commercial shapes, a sash pivoted to swing therein, and retaining strips interposed "between the frame and sash, said strips being attached to the frame and adapted to partially surround the sash, the stri s on opposite sides of the pivot being reverse y turned to surround opposite sides of the sash and permit it to swing open in one direction.

3. In combination, a Window sash, and an independent sash retaining member secured thereto and comprising a member having a projecting grooved portion for the reception of the glass, and a body portion at an angle to the grooved portion and fitting the sash.

4. In combination, a Window sash, and a pair of holding membershaving their inner I ends overlapping and secured to the sash, and their other ends bent at an angle and spaced apart for the reception'of the glass.

5. In combination in a Window sash, an 40 outside member composed of sections of 1pe,

and a pair of holding members,.said ho ding members being curved atone end to fit the outside member, and having their other ends turned out to bear on opposite sides of the glass.

pair of adjoining tubular members, a connecting member therebetween, said connecting-member having reduced end por WALTER II. BARRY.
